Hey everyone,
It’s been a little quiet from my side again. Due to family circumstances I had to step away for a while, but I’m slowly getting back into things.
Before anything else, I want to acknowledge the people who have already stepped up over the past year. A number of you volunteered your time, joined discussions, worked on ideas and took responsibility for parts of AnimeBase, especially around the RP. That effort absolutely hasn’t gone unnoticed.
What I didn’t fully realise at the time was how much of the next step still depended on input, decisions and direction from my side. When I had to step away, some things naturally stalled with me. That’s something we need to fix going forward, because AnimeBase shouldn’t depend on one person being available all the time.
So one of the first things I’ll be doing is reconnecting with the people who already raised their hands, particularly our RP admins, moderators and everyone who wanted to help shape its future. A lot of good discussions and ideas are already there. We don’t need to start over. We need to pick them back up and figure out together how we move forward in a way that gives people enough ownership to keep things moving.
At the same time, I’ve been thinking a lot about AnimeBase itself. About what made this place special, what we want to preserve, and what the next Base could become.
I’m deliberately not going to reveal much about that yet. No giant roadmap and no list of promises. But things are moving again, and you may already start noticing some changes here and there.
We’re also always interested in hearing from people who genuinely want to contribute. Not because we’re replacing anyone, and not because we need more badges or titles, but because communities like this work best when people are able to take something they care about and make it their own.
Anime, Manga, RP, events, GFX, community projects or something completely different.
If you already volunteered before, expect to hear from us. We want to continue those conversations rather than restart them.
And if you haven’t been involved yet but you’re reading this thinking “I’d really like to be part of whatever comes next”, feel free to reply here or send us a message.
There’s more coming. For now, I’ll leave it at that.
The Base is waking up again.
Cheers,
V
